[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor Hank Williams Jr.  They won't use his song on the intro to Monday Night Football because of comments he made on tv.  He was referring to a June golf game with Obama and Boehner on the same team.  They were going against Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.  Hank said it was "[i]one of the biggest political mistakes ever[/i]."  Asked what he didn't like about it, Williams said, "[i]Come on. That'd be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu. Not hardly[/i]."

Ok, maybe not the most savvy comment, and not one that a PR department would put out.  However, why is it such a big deal?  He was just stating that he thought the pairing didn't make sense.  It's an opinion.  Are all Hitler jokes off limits now?  I guess we'll have to slam The Producers...  When I first read the story, I thought it would be about Obama caddying for Boehner or something to that effect.  [/quote]Sort of agree with you and I'm not only Jewish but a big Obama supporter (I know, typical left wing bleeding heart liberal). First of all, ol' Bo Seefis is probably not a rocket scientist when it comes to commentary and media spin in the first place. And the only person you can compare Hitler to and still remain politically correct is well, Hitler. He didn't mean Obama is Hitler and certainly it was a stupid comment (see above) but, yes, in this country we are definitely overly sensitive when it comes to media comments. It's OK to think it, just don't say it. On the radio. [/quote]

Overall, Stalin was a lot worse than Hitler.  [/quote]
